My entry into pyro world begins


Hi,

 

As a beginner first batch of chemicals has arrived. I will keep updating the blog as and when things arrive and i make something.

 

1. Salt peter

2. Barium Nitrate

3. Strontium nitrate

4. Bentonite powder.

 

Now, waiting for Sulphur, Charcoal (airfloat and 80 mesh), Titanium powder, Acetone, Ethanol, Shellac.

 

Still, struggling to get Aluminium.

 

Any other chemicals i require? I want to stay away from chlorates and perchlorates at the moment.

 

Enquiring about a H type hydraulic press.

 

Downloaded the turbo pyro projects too.

 

Getting a rawhide hammer and 80 mesh charcoal

 

40 mesh and 200 mesh Magnalium with me now.

Regards

Titanium is probably better than aluminum, look for something <80 mesh

Seniors here,

 

What is the weight of wooden rammers most commonly used in pyrotechnics?

 

I will be making fountains etc no rockets at the moment as they require experience.

nice! If youre ever looking to make firecrackers, the formula for flash powder is 70% potassium perchlorate & 30% aluminum powder.
